The Golden State Warriors' offseason continues to drag on, and fans await a decision between the front office and Steve Kerr about the 12-year coach's future in the Bay Area.

Until that happens, not much else can take place in terms of contract discussions with players or potential trade ideas, though time is ticking before the NBA draft lottery, set for Sunday, and the subsequent pre-draft processes.

With the Warriors likely to pick at No. 11 with a 9.4% chance to jump into the top four, this will be a very important draft for them to get right, and having the front office and scouting department on the same page as whoever the head coach may be will be of the utmost importance.

On Wednesday, Draymond Green made a guest appearance on ESPN's Inside the NBA show as a replacement for Shaquille O'Neal, alongside Ernie Johnson, Kenny Smith, and Charles Barkley.

Ahead of the day's games, the crew asked Green about a variety of topics, including his latest thoughts on Kerr's future as head coach with the Warriors.

"I think and hope he's coming back. I don't know more than anyone else in the world knows. What I do know is that he wants to coach. If he wants to coach, I think he comes back."

As he said, Green doesn't have any more insight than we do, but it's another drop in the bucket of public support for Kerr to return to the Warriors from Green and many other people involved with the Warriors.

Green also responded to the criticisms he's received as of late about his belief that Kerr "hindered" his career, at least on the offensive end.

"Well, I think number one, people took a four-minute clip of me saying how great this guy has been to my career, how much he's taught me about winning, where I wouldn't be without him, and all these things, and they took 15 seconds of it where I said I think from an offensive standpoint, he hindered me. I stand by that. That's my truth. But I think every basketball player in the world has some gripe that they wish their coach would have done. I'm not afraid to express my one gripe, but with me expressing my one gripe, make no mistake about it, I also said how much of a better man he's made me. I spoke on all of those things, and we take one clip."

It's a bit natural to be taken aback by Green's words, even if they're in context with the rest of the praise he gave Kerr, since it seems a bit far-fetched to think Green's offensive potential could have been hindered, but it's good clarification on his part to at least ensure Kerr's name isn't being dragged in any real way for this.

Green is almost surely going to become a member of the media once he retires, whether it means joining studio shows such as Inside the NBA or simply continuing to run his podcast that has already become so popular for the four and a half years it has been in existence, so quotes like these are likely to continue coming for years to come.
